MB: Yes, land given to Umno reps, what's wrong?


KUALA BESUT Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Said today admitted that four Umno leaders received one hectare of beach-front landeach in the Besut district.

He said the plots, located in Bukit Dendong, Mukim Tembila, were given in appreciation for their work as elected representatives.

Ahmad, who is also the state Umno liasion committee chairperson, stressed that the state government would not revoke the land titles.

"Our policy is that all citizens of Terengganu are entitled to land. So if the person is an elected representative, he has the right to ask. What is wrong? He got it the proper way.

"What is the point of returning (the land back to the state government)," he told a press conference after chairing an exco meeting.

Ahmad Said was responding to PAS who demanded that the state government revoke the land given to former Besut MP Abdullah Muhamad Zain, former Kota Putera assemblyperson Muhammad Pehimi Yusof, Hulu Besut assemblyperson Nawi Mohamad and incumbent Besut MP Idris Jusoh.

Nawi had previously admitted to owning the plot of land but explained that the people of Terengganu also received land from the state government.

In a related development, PAS challenged Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to instruct Ahmad Said to reclaim the land.

PAS central committee member Dzulkefly Ahmad said the land should revert to the state government as it is a "high-value asset".

By doing so, he said, the BN-led state government would prove that it is delivering on the coalition's "people first" slogan and not "victimising people".
